Perspective

We were invited to dinner with some friends last Friday night, to celebrate our friend Faith's 30th birthday. I said her 30th birthday.

As it turns out, we were unable to go because Suzie's seizures are acting up again and we are back in the "changing meds motif."

But after the call from Faith's husband, to invite us to her 30th birthday party, I got to thinking...

Now I recently turned 42, so if by chance we had grown up in the same town, which we didn't, I would have been a senior in high school while she was in kindergarten. And I can just imagine me walking by the kindergarten hall saying, "hey I'm looking forward to the time 25 years from now when we will get together with some other friends to celebrate your 30th birthday..."

Funny how time shades away those decades of difference, and the senior can be friends with the kindergartner...
